Scalar damage models are very often implemented in computational analyses in order to predict the response and failure modes of concrete and reinforced concrete structures. In most situations, however, damage is not isotropic but has preferential directions. Therefore, there have been many questions

In this paper a plastic damage model for nonlinear finite element analysis of concrete is presented. The model is based on standard plasticity theory for frictional materials. Details of the expressions of a new yield function proposed and of the evolution laws of the model parameters are given. The
In this paper a exible model for the description of damage in heterogeneous structural materials is presented. The approach involves solving the equations of equilibrium, with unilateral constraints on the maximum attainable values of selected internal variables. Due to the unilateral constraints, t
Classical continuum damage theory for quasi-brittle fracture exhibits an extreme sensitivity to the fineness and orientation of the spatial discretization in finite element simulations. This sensitivity is caused by the fact that the mathematical description becomes ill-posed at a certain level of a
